I got the notification that I need to replace my 12V battery - but I already replaced it 5,000 miles ago! This is too soon to have to do it AGAIN.
The notification came on after a night when it was very cold. But the car's main (driving) battery was at 80% charge.
I got the last battery just over 12 months ago for $230 and now need another one at $230. Tesla won't cover it because it's over 1 year ago despite the low mileage.
Most 12v batteries are warranted longer. Any suggestions on how to fix this without dropping another $230 at Tesla for yet another replacement 12v battery?
Or is there no other real alternative?
